Standards of Effective Instruction (SOEI) Coaching Rubric

This comprehensive framework defines what effective teaching looks like across four key domains: Planning and Preparation, Classroom Environment, Classroom Instruction, and Professional Responsibilities. Each domain is broken down into indicators and elements, with rubrics describing levels of effectiveness from Requires Attention to Exemplary. The standards emphasize alignment with learning goals, fostering respectful and engaging classroom environments, using varied instructional and assessment strategies, and embracing reflection and professional collaboration. Together, they provide a roadmap for teacher growth, accountability, and instructional excellence.
